Five Interludes Inspired Poems by Alan Catlin

 

Interludes Five Times

 

 

1-

 

The slow motion of 

light on water; a fantasy 

on a theme by Thomas Tallis

 

 

2-

 

A moment where sky 

and sea seem to overlap; 

impossible colours, 

new light being born

 

 

3-

 

Deserted farm house 

at dusk; moon rise 

in broken glass

 

 

4-

 

Listening to Mozart’s 

last symphonies; 

so young to be so old

 

 

5-

 

Listening to Glenn Gould 

play Bach; the joy of it 

makes a man want to sing
